How Are the Flower Structure and Nectar Composition of the Generalistic Orchid <i>Neottia ovata</i> Adapted to a Wide Range of Pollinators?

Plant-pollinator interactions significantly influence reproductive success (RS) and drive the evolution of pollination syndromes. In the context of RS, mainly the role of flower morphology is touched. The importance of nectar properties is less studied, despite its significance in pollination effect...
